Time of Reading Unknown.
-
EC: Yes we have the body here. We have had it before.
-
This body is pretty sick right now, the trouble is with the stomach. We see there has been a great deal of change in the condition of this body here, Mrs. [5421] we are speaking of, since last we had it here. This body has been in a great deal better condition than it is at the present time or at the time that we had it before. The conditions that are produced in the system cause this trouble in the lower end of the stomach. We find where the thickening of the walls caused by the ulceration and healing from the first condition has become much disturbed at this time; it is caused by cold and congestion in the system, which settled at the weakest resistive point, or place in the system, and caused too much of the lactive juices to be thrown off, so congestion took hold here. With this congestion, and the extra amount of fluids thrown off, caused some trouble and inflammation in this portion of the body.
-
There has been too large a usage of some of the things suggested to be used before, until nausea has been brought to the body. This is not a cancerous condition in this body, but it might be if allowed to remain.
-
The water to be used should not be the well water, as has been used, because it caused too much calcium. The water this body uses should be thoroughly boiled and cooled, and to each glass should be added either a stick of slippery elm, or a pinch of the ground elm bark; and keep the water cold that is given to this system.
-
As to the medicinal properties: to the dose we would have:
Senna…2 1/2 grains, Dover’s Powders…1 1/2 grains, Yellow Saffron…1 grain, Red Prussate [perchlorate?] of Potassium…1/20 grain.
-
This in five grains capsules, one to be taken night and morning. Do this.
-
As to the diet that should be given at this time: no meats; nothing carrying grease or any animal fats. Give milk and cereals, changed from day to another. Fruits carrying not too much acid, such as certain apples and pears.
-
Do this; and we find it will bring relief to the body.
-
We are through.
